The most important attraction on the Vrijdagmarkt (Friday Market) is the Plantin-Moretus Museum.
Christoffel Plantijn founded his publishing house ”De Gulden Passer”(The Golden Compasses) in Antwerp in 1555. Twenty-one years later, he relocated his business to the Vrijdagmarkt.
When you visit the museum today, you'll enter a fully equipped publishing house from the Renaissance-Baroque period. It's unique in his kind and the Unesco added the Plantin-Moretus Museum to the World Heritage List in 2002.

Around the Vrijdagmarkt are a number of junk dealers who have auctions on Friday.
